HANS PAULSON, OF ORTING, WASHINGTON.

COFFEE-COOKING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS PAULSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Orting, in the county of Pierce and State of Washington,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cofiee-CookingDevices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in coffeeretaining receptacle to be placed into a coffee pot. I

The object of this invention is to provide a device of this characterwith several compartments for containing coffee whereby the coffee maybe used several times, and when making coffee each time new coffee maybe added, thereby not only saving the coffee but using the same amountat each time.

Another object of this invention is to improve and simplify devices ofthis character rendering them comparatively cheap in manufacture,strong, durable and efiicient in use and which may be readily operated.

With these and other objects inview, my invention consists of a novelconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts which will behereinafter fully described, claimed and particularly pointed out in thedrawings in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved device as applied to acoffee pot; Fig." 2 is a perspective view of the same having the coverremoved, and Fig.3 is a perspective view of the cover.

Referring now to the drawing wherein like parts are indicated by likereferences, the numeral 1 indicates generally a coffee pot of the usualdesign having a coffee retaining member 2 which embodies my invention.This coffee containing member 2 consists of a circular receptacle madeof any suitable material having perforations formed in the sides andbottom thereof. Angle bars or supporting members 3 are suitably securedto the bottom of the receptacle by means of solder or the like. Radiallyextending partitions 4 are formed in said receptacle for dividing thesame into compartments 5, and whereas I have only Specification ofLetters Patent.

Application filed July 25, 1911.

Patented Apr. 23, 1912. Serial No. 640,503.

shown four of these compartments it is to be understood that thereceptacle may be divided into as many compartments as desired.Extending from these partitions is a stem 6 having an eye 7 formed inthe end thereof by which the receptacle may be removed or placed in thecoffee pot. A suitable closure 8 is rotatably mounted on the said stemwhich is also provided with perforations and has formed therein a sectorshaped opening 9. A dependent flange 12 is formed on said closure to fitover the sides of the receptacle 2, and a nut 11 is provided on saidstem for holding the said closure close to the receptacle. The edges ofthe closure around the sector shaped opening are provided with outwardlyextending flanges 12 which serve as a funnel to facilitate the pouringof the ground coffee into the receptacle.

It is obvious from the foregoing that three of the compartments may befilled with coffee and the receptacle is then placed into the coffeepot. But upon making coffee the second time theempty compartment is thenfilled with fresh ground coffee and the closure is turned until thesector shaped opening comes over the next compartment and the coffee inthat compartment is then emptied. This operation is continued andthereby all of the flavor will be boiled out of the coffee before it isthrown away.

Having described my invention and what I claim is new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

In a device such as described a perforated receptacle, radiallyextending partitions for dividing same into compartments, a stemextending from the said partitions, a perforated cover rotatably mountedon said stem, a flange formed on said cover extending over the edges ofthe receptacle, said cover having a sector shaped opening formed thereinand outwardly extending flanges formed around the edges of said openingsubstantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HANS PAULSON.
